Numbers, Formatting and Base conversion
Here is an example of numbers management (including formatting and base conversions):
//Number formatting:
var num_1 = 123;
var num_1_a = CB_numberFormat(num_1, 2); //Returns 123 (number).
var num_1_b = CB_numberFormat(num_1, 2, true); //Returns '123.00' (string).
var num_2 = 123.45;
var num_2_a = CB_numberFormat(num_2, 2); //Returns 123.45 (number).
var num_2_b = CB_numberFormat(num_2, 2, true); //Returns '123.45' (string).
var num_3 = 123.456;
var num_3_a = CB_numberFormat(num_3, 2); //Returns 123.46 (number).
var num_3_b = CB_numberFormat(num_3, 2, true); //Returns '123.46' (string).
var num_4 = 123.123;
var num_4_a = CB_numberFormat(num_4, 2); //Returns 123.12 (number).
var num_4_b = CB_numberFormat(num_4, 2, true); //Returns '123.12' (string).
var num_5 = 567.89;
var num_5_a = CB_numberFormat(num_5, 10); //Returns 567.89 (number).
var num_5_b = CB_numberFormat(num_5, 2, true); //Returns '567.8900000000' (string).
//Gets the number of decimals from a number (same as 'CB_countDecimalPart', 'CB_countDecimalDigits', 'CB_numberOfDecimals' and 'CB_numberOfDecimalDigits'):
var numberOfDecimals = CB_countDecimals(12345.678); //Returns 3.
var numberOfDecimals_2 = CB_countDecimals("1e-13"); //It also works for exponential notation (1e-13' would be 0.0000000000001). Returns: 13.
//Gets the number of integer digits (the number of digits that belong to the integer part) from a number (same as 'CB_countIntegerDigits' and 'CB_numberOfIntegerDigits'):
var numberOfIntegerDigits = CB_countIntegerPart(12345.678); //Returns 5.
var numberOfIntegerDigits_2 = CB_countIntegerPart("1e-13"); //It also works for exponential notation (1e-13' would be 0.0000000000001). Returns: 0.
var numberOfIntegerDigits_3 = CB_countIntegerPart(999999999999999999999999999); //Returns: 27.
//Converting an integer into a desired base (string result) with 'CB_intToBase':
var num = -1234567890123456; //Digits: 16.
var num_base2 = CB_intToBase(num, 2, false, '-', "0b"); //Returns the number in base 2 (binary), with '0b' prefix (string, length/digits: 54).
var num_base2NoPrefix = CB_intToBase(num, 2); //Returns the number in base 2 (binary) without prefix (string, length/digits: 52).
var num_base8 = CB_intToBase(num, 8); //Returns the number in base 8 (octal), with '0' prefix (string, length/digits: 19).
var num_base8NoPrefix = CB_intToBase(num, 8, false, '-', ''); //Returns the number in base 8 (octal) without prefix (string, length/digits: 18).
var num_base16 = CB_intToBase(num, 16); //Returns the number in base 16 (hexadecimal), with '0x' prefix (string, length/digits: 16).
var num_base16NoPrefix = CB_intToBase(num, 16, false, '-', ''); //Returns the number in base 16 (hexadecimal) without prefix (string, length/digits: 14).
var num_base64 = CB_intToBase(num, 64); //Returns the number in base 64 (string, length/digits: 10).
var num_base66 = CB_intToBase(num, 66); //Returns the number in base 66 (string, length/digits: 10).
var num_base71 = CB_intToBase(num, 71); //Returns the number in base 71 (string, length/digits: 10).
var num_base87 = CB_intToBase(num, 87); //Returns the number in base 87 (string, length/digits: 9).
var num_base88 = CB_intToBase(num, 88); //Returns the number in base 88 (string, length/digits: 9).
var num_base128 = CB_intToBase(num, 128); //Returns the number in base 128 (string, length/digits: 9).
var num_base256 = CB_intToBase(num, 256); //Returns the number in base 256 (string, length/digits: 8).
var num_base512 = CB_intToBase(num, 512); //Returns the number in base 512 (string, length/digits: 7).
var num_base1024 = CB_intToBase(num, 1024); //Returns the number in base 1024 (string, length/digits: 7).
var num_base2048 = CB_intToBase(num, 2048); //Returns the number in base 2048 (string, length/digits: 6).
var num_base4096 = CB_intToBase(num, 4096); //Returns the number in base 4096 (string, length/digits: 6).
//Converting a number in a specific base (as string) into a decimal integer with 'CB_baseToInt' (all will return the same integer number: 1234567890123456):
var num_fromBase2 = CB_baseToInt(num_base2, 2);
var num_fromBase2NoPrefix = CB_baseToInt(num_base2NoPrefix, 2);
var num_fromBase8 = CB_baseToInt(num_base8, 8);
var num_fromBase8NoPrefix = CB_baseToInt(num_base8NoPrefix, 8);
var num_fromBase16 = CB_baseToInt(num_base16, 16);
var num_fromBase16NoPrefix = CB_baseToInt(num_base16NoPrefix, 16);
var num_fromBase64 = CB_baseToInt(num_base64, 64);
var num_fromBase66 = CB_baseToInt(num_base66, 66);
var num_fromBase71 = CB_baseToInt(num_base71, 71);
var num_fromBase87 = CB_baseToInt(num_base87, 87);
var num_fromBase88 = CB_baseToInt(num_base88, 88);
var num_fromBase128 = CB_baseToInt(num_base128, 128);
var num_fromBase256 = CB_baseToInt(num_base256, 256);
var num_fromBase512 = CB_baseToInt(num_base512, 512);
var num_fromBase1024 = CB_baseToInt(num_base1024, 1024);
var num_fromBase2048 = CB_baseToInt(num_base2048, 2048);
var num_fromBase4096 = CB_baseToInt(num_base4096, 4096);
//It is also possible to do conversions treating the numbers as unsigned (absolute values):
var num = -789;
var num_base16_unsigned = CB_intToBase(num, 16, true); //Returns 'num' in base 16, unsigned.
var num_fromBase16_unsigned = CB_baseToInt(num_base16_unsigned, 16, true); //Returns 'num' again but unsigned (789).
//An array with the symbols used by the different bases can be gotten this way ('CB_baseSymbols.get' uses a cache):
var symbolsBase64 = CB_baseSymbols.get(64);
var symbolsBase256 = CB_baseSymbols.get(); //With no parameter, default is 256.
var symbolsBase4096 = CB_baseSymbols.get(4096);
var symbolsBase9999 = CB_baseSymbols.get(9999);
//It is also possible to use a base with our own symbols:
var num = 1234567890;
var baseXSymbols = ["A", "B", "C"];
var num_baseX = CB_intToBase(num, baseXSymbols); //Returns 'num' in base 3 with our own symbols.
var num_fromBaseX = CB_baseToInt(num_baseX, baseXSymbols); //Returns 'num' again.
//We can define which is the minus symbol (the symbol which marks a number as negative, as '-' normally):
var num = -123;
var num_baseX_2 = CB_intToBase(num, baseXSymbols, false, "@"); //Returns 'num' in base 3 with our own symbols and '@' in the beginning as it is negative.
var num_fromBaseX_2 = CB_baseToInt(num_baseX_2, baseXSymbols, false, "@"); //Returns 'num' again.
//We can define a prefix (a string that is in the beginning of the number to mark its type, as '0x' for hexadecimal or '0' for octal):
var num = -312;
var num_baseX_2 = CB_intToBase(num, baseXSymbols, false, "@", "!x"); //Returns 'num' in base 3 with our own symbols and '@' in the beginning as it is negative and then the "!x" prefix.
var num_fromBaseX_2 = CB_baseToInt(num_baseX_2, baseXSymbols, false, "@", "!x"); //Returns 'num' again.
//It is also possible to convert from one base to another one (with 'CB_baseToBase'):
var num = "@*[PRE]MY_NUM!"; //Number.
var num_base = 71; //Base used by 'num'.
var num_minusSymbols = "@*"; //Minus symbols used by 'num'.
var num_prefix = "[PRE]"; //Prefix used by 'num'.
var num_base64 = CB_baseToBase(num, num_base, 64, false, num_minusSymbols, '%', num_prefix, "~"); //Returns 'num' in base 64 with "%" as minus symbol and "~" prefix.
var num_2 = CB_baseToBase(num_base64, 64, num_base, false, '%', num_minusSymbols, "~", num_prefix); //Returns 'num' again.
//Converting a float number into a specific base and vice versa:
var numFloat = 123.45678;
var numFloatDecimals = CB_numberOfDecimals(numFloat); //Returns the number of decimals (5).
var num = numFloat * Math.pow(10, numFloatDecimals); //Returns the number without the decimal symbol (12345678).
var num_base4096 = CB_intToBase(num, CB_baseSymbols.get(4096)); //Returns 'num' in base 4096.
var num_fromBase4096 = CB_baseToInt(num_base4096, CB_baseSymbols.get(4096)); //Returns 'num' again.
var numFloat_2 = num_fromBase4096 / Math.pow(10, numFloatDecimals); //Returns 'numFloat' again.
When using different bases it is important to have into account the following:
- The symbols used by the base 64 will not be encoded neither by the escape function nor by the encodeURIComponent function (recommended for URI components for any client, JavaScript strings or HTML code in the case that we do not want to use base 66). Includes all symbols from lower bases, respecting the same order (which is their value).
- The symbols used by the base 66 will not be encoded neither by the escape function nor by the encodeURIComponent function (recommended for URI components for any client, JavaScript strings or HTML code). Includes all symbols from lower bases, respecting the same order (which is their value).
- The symbols used by the base 71 will be encoded by the escape function but not by the encodeURIComponent function (not recommended for URI components in old clients, but useful for URI components in new clients with encodeURIComponent function support, for JavaScript strings or HTML code). Includes all symbols from lower bases, respecting the same order (which is their value).
- The symbols used by the base 87 will be encoded by the escape function and also by the encodeURIComponent function but they will not need to be encoded neither in JavaScript strings nor in HTML (not recommended for URI components, but useful for JavaScript strings or HTML code). Includes all symbols from lower bases, respecting the same order (which is their value).
- The symbols used by the base 88 will be encoded by the escape function and also by the encodeURIComponent function, but they will not need to be encoded in HTML (not recommended for URI components or JavaScript strings, but useful for HTML code).
- The symbols used by base 128 and higher will be encoded by the escape function and also by the encodeURIComponent function and they will need to be encoded in HTML (not recommended for URI components or JavaScript strings or HTML code).
